Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Shen Yan originally wanted Shen Kun and Jiang Jing to stay at her house, but her offer was turned down.
“Why don’t you stay at my place?” Shen Yan pouted and held onto Jiang Jing’s arm. She wanted to have a good chat with her since they had not seen each other for a long time.
“It’s more convenient to stay at a hotel.” Jiang Jing beamed. Her red lips hooked up slightly, as she continued, “I’ll come and find you tomorrow. Be good!”
“All right then!” Shen Yan replied with some disappointment.
Shen Yan brought her parents to the hotel. As soon as she entered, she saw a few familiar faces.
Su Ling and Fu Xiaoxiao were very close. She was also the one who had helped to spread the word about Shen Yan being kept.
In addition, she lent a helping hand to help Fu Xiaoxiao hire internet trolls. She had contributed greatly to the slandering on Shen Yan’s social media.
When Shen Yan was still in the Fu family, Su Ling often went to the Fu family residence to play. Fu Xiaoxiao, along with her, often mistreated Shen Yan. Sometimes, they even set her up.
Furthermore, Fu Xiaoxiao’s dress was ruined at the banquet a few days ago. However, she was not the only person who was humiliated. Su Ling, who was close to her, was also implicated.
It was a small world, after all. One can’t avoid one’s enemy.
Su Ling had originally planned to settle scores with Shen Yan. Now that she saw her, she walked forward in anger, ready to settle scores with Shen Yan.
As soon as she took a step forward, she was dragged back. She looked at her father, Su Yong, in confusion.
Su Yong walked forward respectfully. His gaze fell on Shen Kun’s face. “Mr Shen, Mrs Shen.”
Su Ling’s face went white. She looked at the two people Su Yong had greeted incredulously.
She knew the woman that Shen Yan was holding on to. She was Jiang Jing, a celebrity. The man standing next to Jiang Jing must be Shen Kun, the head of the Shen family!
Su Ling’s body was on the verge of collapse. She might have fallen straight to the ground without her mother’s support.
When Shen Kun saw Su Yong, the anger pent-up in him from his visit to the Fu family dissipated a little. His gaze became much gentler. “Long time no see.”
Su Yong smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries with Shen Kun. His gaze fell on Shen Yan, who was standing next to Jiang Jing.
Everyone in An City knew that Shen Yan was Fu Hang’s ex-wife. He smiled and asked tentatively, “Mr Shen, is this your daughter?”
In order to protect Shen Yan’s identity, Shen Kun had never revealed that Shen Yan was the daughter of the Shen family publicly in the past. This had caused Shen Yan to be bullied by others.
From now on, he would never let anyone bully Shen Yan anymore.
“Yes, Shen Yan is our only child,” Shen Kun uttered slowly. When he saw that Su Yong understood the meaning of his words, he looked at Shen Yan and continued, ��Yanyan, you can address him as Uncle Su.”
Shen Yan smiled and greeted, “Hello, Uncle Su.”
When Su Yong heard the word “Uncle”, his eyes dampened instantly. He felt that he had done well, to actually be lucky enough to see the daughter of the Shen family. He responded, “Hello.”
The two families exchanged a few more pleasantries before parting ways.
Su Yong brought Su Ling and his wife, Li Yue, to a private lounge. After ordering some dishes, he took out his phone to call his father with a long sigh of relief.
“Hey, Dad. I’ve met the daughter of the head of the Shen family.”
“Yes, it’s the daughter of the Shen family’s patriarch.”
“She’s Shen Yan. She looks very much like the patriarch and his wife.”
“Dad, let me tell you, Shen Yan called me ‘Uncle’!”
Su Young was still trying to speak, but his call was hung up by the other party.
Su Ling was looking at Su Yong with a terrified face. Her body was trembling involuntarily.
“Su Ling, Shen Yan is the Young Miss of the Shen family.. Although you didn’t have a good relationship with her in the past, you have to protect Shen Yan at all costs from now on, even if it costs your life!” Su Yong said firmly, looking at Su Ling with a serious expression.
